<div class="IPBDescription">Makes aiming so much harder</div> When trying to aim by moving the mouse slowly, the crosshair "sticks" and then jumps about 5 pixels in the correct direction. But if I move the mouse quickly, it works perfectly. At first, I thought I set some options wrong. Mouse filter was checked. It isn't Steam because I have other modifications that do not cause this problem.

But, try turning the mouse filter off.
coris, can you provide some additional information on why type32.exe and point32.exe would affect only NS, not his other mods?
Optional: This happens only in NS, and only at low mouse speeds? Hmm. If your system is close to its limit with NS, I can understand how setting type32 and point32 to high priority would help in that scenario, but if that's the case, then this would belong in tech support, not here.
Does this happen all the time? Did you have auto-aim on (and were you on a server that allowed auto-aim?)
Some system specs would be helpful in determining if this really is a problem with NS or a problem with your system. Specifically, system CPU, memory (amount and speed), graphics card, mouse (type and connection).

Since this only happens for me in NS, I thought this might be the same problem. It might be because NS is CPU intense and therefore takes cpu-cycles from the mouse/keyboard drivers (point32.exe and type32.exe) and that's what makes the mouse lag. Setting them to high priority gives them more CPU power and therefore the mouselag is gone.
Try it and see if it works.

I won't try that point.exe thing, but I will lower priority of NS in Task Manager.
That solved my "mouse lag" problem.

If you want to fix problems, you do have to be willing to trial and error. Just remember to reset to normal after a fix that didn't bring any change or the desired effect.
Also, they suggested setting <b>steam</b> to low priority, to leave more ressources for Natural Selection most likely. Setting <b>type32 and point32 to high</b> is just as easy a process, you pick out those running processes and force them into high priority - that simply means the oh-so-strenous task of processing keyboard and mouse input won't be delayed.
Theres no tangible risks in trying any of this, unless you somehow stick a fork in a wall socket at the same time.
